It’s National Library Week!
National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in our communities. The American Library Association began celebrating National Library Week in 1957 in an effort to motivate people to read and support the use of libraries.
This year, National Library Week is April 7-13. The 2024 theme is “Ready, Set, Library!” This action-oriented theme is a reminder that libraries are always at the ready to connect you to your community, new skills, and resources that expand your knowledge base. Lane Library is here to be your research partner.
During National Library Week, we also celebrate National Library Workers Day on April 9. This year, we are showcasing our amazing staff that make all of Lane Library’s resources and services available to you! Get to know our staff, both old and new, by reading some of our staff profiles.
